During the official announcement of his presidential campaign in Chicago, then Senator Barack Obama said, “no amount of American lives can resolve the political disagreement that lies at the heart of someone else’s civil war.”
At the time Obama was speaking about his opposition to the war in Iraq, “Most of you know that I opposed this war from the start. I thought it was a tragic mistake,” Obama said to a crowd at the Springfield, Illinois town square on Feb. 10, 2007.
I know this is off-topic, but have you seen this? While he was in college, Barack Obama wrote a document for the Marxist Student Association called “Rules for revolution: Revisions in light of current events.” You can see scans of the original including his signature!

Thanks for your comments. I do remember reading several stories about Obama being a member of the Socialist Democrat Party while in Chicago.
